wmrarBO imrg-review, iattrdat. Norarncn b, imi. i A Trip Through the Roseburg Steam Laundry Miss Mabel Gilkeson, a student of the Domestic Science class of the Roseburg high school has been announced winner of the Roseburg Steam Laundry essay contest. The Domestic Science students were re cently treated to a trip through Roseburg's up-to-date laundry and at that time the man agement announced a prize tothe best essay received concerning the inspection of the laundry. The prize-winning essay follows: Superior "Number please," came over the wires to Nellie, as she lifted the receiver of the tele plume. "Give me 79 please, central." A slight pause followed and then the voice came back again with "The line is busy." "Oh, dear," ejaculated Nellie. That makes the fifth time I have tried to get that number this morning and the line is always busy." She sat clown disappointedly and, cup inpf her dimpled chin in a rosy hand, a frown puckered up between her usually laughing eyes as she pondered over her problem. But soon that frown faded and a smile came over her face as she picked up the evening paper. She had noticed an article announcing that visitors week at the laundry had begun two clays ago and she decided to go down and see just how things were done. "I can leave John's collars, then I won't have to bother calling wagon," she thought to herself. About a half hour later she em merged from the house clad in a smart suit of brown duvetyne. With a smile she nodd ed to her next door .neighbor and went walk ing briskly down the street. That evening as Nellie was preparing dinner she hummed a happy little tune and when she heard John's step in the hall she smiled as she thought of the good surprise she had in store for him. When they were seated at the table John looked up at his wife and said: "Why Nell.dear, what makes you so happy?" " "Oh, John, it's all on account of a little visit I made today," she tumbled the words hurriedly. "You see, I wanted to have your collars sent to be cleaned, and I just could not get the laundry office on the telephone. I sat down to rest before trying to get them for the sixth time, and my eyes happened to glance at an article in last night's paper. It was an invitation to any one who cared to visit the laundry and see just how they wash ed and cleaned the clothes. So I decided to go and take the collars myself." -ellie paused all out of breath and John exclaimed : "Well, I don't see why that should make you :o happy." "Oh, but you would have seen if you had been there, and you will see when I explain it to you. When I entered the office, the stenographer asked me if I would like to pay them a visit and I told her 'yes, very much.' Then Mr. Daker came and told if I would come with him he would show me all of the processes and explain them to me. He took me to the marking room first, and showed and explained to me the marking machine, and just how the clothes were handled upon there arrival at the Laundry. The marking machine interested me very much and it is the cleverest little bit of invention I have seen for a long time. It does the work twice as fast as the markers used to do it, Mr. Baker told me. From there he took me to the washing rooms and explained the process of cleaning. The clothes were placed in large round tubs with two and three partitions in each one. There were five of these tubs and they were run by electricity. The clothes were taken out of the tubs and put through extractor machines and from there, they were taken Many were educated in a like manner during "Visitor's Week." Many realized the thorough and up-to-date methods employed by the Roseburg Steam Laundry and now Many are taking advantage of this wonderful laundry system. Phone 79 and Our Wagon Will Call Roseburg Steam Laundry upstairs to tlie rough dry hangers, and to the shakers and flat-work ironcis. And Oh, John, when I went up stairs I wus the most surprised person you ever saw. They had the loviest potted plants, iu..t loads of them everywhere. But I want to leave that for the last and tell you about the ironing, wrapping and de livering first. The clothes that were to be starched were put through the starcher and hung on hooks to dry. They have a special machine for collars, and it is very interesting" to watch them shape and press them. After the clothes were ironed they were tied out in bundles and ready to deliver. Then the wag on took, them to the various places.. "In the back of the Laundry they have placed the lunch room. It's just the cleanest and whitest place I have seen for so long. They have five small tables spread with crisp fresh clothes, and a bowl of bright blossoms on each one. And, John, each employee was simply immaculate in dress. Even the w'ash Tr clown stairs wore a spotless white uniform and everything is in the most sanitary condi tion possible. "And now I am going to tell you why, all this, I look so happy as you seem to think. Mr. Baker averaged up the cost piece by piece for me, with prompt delivery and wcil washed clothes, and what do you think I found out. By sending our washing to the laundry, we can save fifty cents on each week's washing that we have been sending elsewhere." "But, my dear," exclaimed John, "that is almost unbelievable." "Nevertheless it is true, John, and here after I shall send my washings to the Rose burg Steam Laundry, where they give the most accurate service, and with the best price." hilding Fermits Must be Secured Owing to the (act that many peo Pfc he lii the past violated Cl.y Winance No. 549, which provides a ally (or tailuee to secure a build J permit before beginning the con nuttUm of any kind of a building t structure within the city limits, ) Board of Fire Commissioners decided to enforce the law to the tr, according to the secretary, I will hereafter cause the arrest I persons violating the same.

(United Press) Guy Fawkes Day," the anniver sary of the discovery of the famous plot to blow up Kuig James' Parlia ment, is being celebrated with old time gusto by British Juveniles to day, rejoicing in the removal of war time restrictions by exploding fire works to their hearts' content. The "guys" which will be burned in public and private tonight, how ever bear little resemblance to the conspiracy of history, and even the ex-Kaiser has lost favor as a "guy." This year's effigies chiefly portrayed "Pussyfoot" (the arch-enemy of father's beer") and "Bolshevik!." The disposal of huge stores of gov ernment munitions in the form of Very lights, rockets, etc., enabled ex lteutenants Jones, Smith and Brown, to give their offspring a fair Illus tration of night-light effects on the Ypres front, etc., at a very small cost.

MUSICWASWONDERFUL Former ItoHchurft Tbwlilent Plays Part af Sheriff of Nottingham anil tierrle Oimedy Utile in Pleasing. Omilc Uera There may he people who prefer shimmy shaking and Jan music to high class comic opera, but a per son would not form that opinion after hearing the thunderous ap plause which greeted the ensemble and Individual offerings of Koliln Hood and surveying the crowd which filled the Antlers theatre to capacity last night. Robin Hood was with out doubt one of the finest product ions brought to Hoseburg In many years, and It was very evident from the approval voiced last night that the people of Roseburg appreciated the action of the theatre manage ment In bringing an opera of this calibre to the city. Itnlph Dunbar's famous Robin Hood presenled by a perfect east carried with It many a laugh, many a serious thought and two hours and a half of enilnlte music. F.very performer was a soloist of wonderful ability, and the chorus and ensemble numbers were especially excellent. It was not a "stingy" company. The performers responded to encore after encore; they sang until they were hoarse, but still they appeared to enjoy It as much as the audience. Kach of the principal actors de serve mention for each part was por I raved with a spirit that filled per fectly with the plot of the play. Hoseburg people, however, were especial! pleased with the part of the Sheriff of Nottingham, portray ed lv Kdward Andrews, formerly a resident of this city, who Is more commonly Itnown to his Hoseburg friends by the name of "Kd." Mr. Andrews was In business for a num ber of years with J. W. Perkins. He molded at Med ford and later fame to Hoseburg where he made ninny friends who were glad to welcome him hack to the rlty. Mr Andrews has spent many years of bis life on lb stage and as th Sheriff of Not tingham, he adds a part to nohln Hood that makea the comedy of the plav perfect. The Interlude In whlrh Mlse Paala Ayrea aang "Oh Promise Me." vaa one of the outstanding features of the production while all of the solo parti drew forth repealed encores. The story of the opera, as written by Hurry II. Smith, deals with young Hobert of Huntington on the Uuy that he attained his majority when ho came to claim bis title nud estate from the Ixird High Sheriff of Not-' Ingham, who had been appointed his guardian by Richard, the Lion Heart-i cd, then at the C'rusldes. He had I won the prise at St. Uortholomew's Fair as the best archer and he at tracted the attention or the outlaws who inrested Sherwood. The wily sheriff hoped to pass his dupe, Ony of Oisborne, off for the real Karl of Huntington. Knowing that the Otiy would divide the estate with him, he Ivi wnntod in mnrrv him tn l.adv Marian Kitiwatet, nls wealthy ward, who has been commanded by the King to marry Robert, though she has never seen him. She disguises herself as a page, to have a look at her future husband, but Robert de tects the disguise, and they fall mut ually In love wilh each other. When he claims his estate he Is repudiated by the sheriff, the King then being sway at the Crusades, and Is invited tn Join the outlaw's band, which he does. Maid Marian Is kept under lock and key by the sheriff until she agrees to marry Sir Guy. Mean while, the sheriff, (luy and some of his men, start for the forest to cap ture Robin Hood, which they suc ceed In doing, as he Is betrayed into Ihelr hands .by Alan-a-Dnle, a young blade who Is Jealous of Robin's plnv ful attentions to his sweetheart. He la brought to Nottingham and con fined to prison, but Will Scarlelt. his trusted friend, and the armorer, who has been engaged to forge his chains, makea them so slight that Robin escapes, previously having changed places with Friar Tuck. He fills the chapel where Marian Is to be married to Oily, with hla forrest ers and, at the time of the wedding, recaptures hla bride. A herald from the) King Just returned from the wars, brings full pardon to him and his band; and disgrace to the Wiley sheriff and hla dupe. NOTICE.
